Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
In a small bowl, combine turkey, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture into 6 even portions. Make patties.
Place on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Wash hands after touching uncooked meats.
Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes. Heat to 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
Prepare Cran-Apple topping: Heat a medium nonstick saucepan on medium heat. Add apples and cook to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently. When apples begin to soften, add dried cranberries and maple syrup. Bring to a light boil, about 2 minutes. Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
Remove patties from oven.
Serve 1 patty with ⅓ cup cran-apple topping. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.
